Come spend a REAL day in the life of a talent agent with me! đŹ In this behind the scenes vlog, I'm taking you through a jam packed day running my commercial and dance talent agency in Los Angeles. From audition drama and signing new dancers to client meetings, casting submissions, outreach, in person auditions, callbacks, self tape reviews, and even a BOOKING!
If you've ever wondered what a talent agent actually does all day, this video gives you a realistic look at the behind the scenes work that happens between an actor, dancer, or model getting submitted and actually booking a job. A huge part of being a talent agent isn't just sending people to auditions... it's reviewing casting notices, deciding which clients are the right fit, managing availability, building pitch packages, communicating with casting directors and production companies, reviewing submission data, helping clients improve their materials, and constantly doing outreach to create new opportunities.
In this day, you'll see me:
⢠Deal with some MAJOR audition drama đ
⢠Sign 11 new dancers to my roster
⢠Review a client's submission and callback statistics
⢠Send dancers to in person auditions
⢠Submit talent for commercials, music videos, social campaigns, and more
⢠Explain how I decide which clients to submit for different castings
⢠Talk about AI clauses and what talent should consider before accepting AI related work
⢠Build pitch packages for directors, ad agencies, and production companies
⢠Do commercial industry outreach
⢠Review self tapes before sending them to casting
⢠Get a booking for one of my clients!
⢠Follow up on callbacks and auditions
⢠Give a behind the scenes look at the World Choreography Awards
⢠Take a much needed rescue dog break đś
I also talk about how I use submission data to evaluate whether a dancer's headshots, reel, or self-tapes are working including callback rates and why data can be useful when deciding whether a client needs new materials.
If you're interested in becoming a talent agent, working as a commercial dancer, auditioning in Los Angeles, booking commercial work, entertainment industry careers, casting, talent management, or what happens behind the scenes at a talent agency, this video is for you!
